Electron microscopy uses a beam of electrons to illuminate ... disease — we visualized the context-dependent action of the ribosome-targeting antibiotic chloramphenicol simultaneously at atomic ...

He recognized that ribosomes exist free in the cytoplasm ... Palade's genius, however, was his masterful combination of electron microscopy with cell fractionation and biochemical analysis ...

An international research collaboration has shed new light on the molecular basis of gene expression, the fundamental biological process that underpins how all organisms use their genetic information.

Ribosomes are the cell’s molecular machines ... Peter Shen, a postdoctoral researcher in Frost’s lab, isolated RQCs from yeast cells and used cryo-electron microscopy to develop three-dimensional ...

Bacteria modify their ribosomes when exposed to widely used antibiotics, according to research published today in Nature Communications. The subtle changes might be enough to alter the binding ...

"Understanding how the ribosome captures or 'recruits' the ... We saw them in action using cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM) and interpreted what they were doing. We then needed to see if the ...

These were initially seen through electron microscopy in the 1960s ... they were believed to be structures that stored chains of ribosomes, similar to a string of beads. 2,3,6 Several oocyte ...

Below the basic structure is shown in the same animal cell, on the left viewed with the light microscope, and on the right with the transmission electron ... in respiration. Ribosomes A tiny ...

Within a cell, DNA carries the genetic code for building proteins. To build proteins, the cell makes a copy of DNA, called ...
